Cuzco City Guide
In earlier times Cuzco served as door to Incan fortress Machu
Picchu and an important Incan node of commerce, administration
and religion. In 1533 Picarro killed the last Incan emperor Atahualpa,
which led to the downfall of Incan empire.
Today, it is a fascinating mixture of Pre-Colombian structures,
Colonial buildings and contemporary mestizo culture. Esp. at
Inti Raymi Cuzco comes to life with thousands of Peruvians celebrating
winter solstice and the sungod following Pre-Colombian traditions
while Christian believes have shaped the festival 'Virgin del
Carmen' in nearby Paucartambo.
The face of the city, too, is determined by a mix of cultures: Incan
ruins like Sacsayhuamán or Qoricancha (Temple
of the Sun) are major highlights. Roman catholic cathedral 'Church
of Triumph' was built on top of Incan ruins and bewitches with
its elegant architecture. Spacious 'Plaza del Arma' holds
a spectacular fountain. It is Cuzco's main square with many important
buildings among them its cathedral.
